About

About Benihana

Benihana was founded in 1964 when Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki opened the first location in New York City with just $10,000 in savings. Aoki, a former Olympic wrestler turned restaurateur, envisioned a theatrical dining experience where guests sat around a teppanyaki iron griddle and watched a skilled chef prepare their entire meal tableside with choreographed knife work and flame flourishes. The concept was unlike anything American diners had seen, and it became an instant sensation.

The name Benihana — meaning "red flower" in Japanese — references a small red safflower that grew near Aoki's family coffee shop in Tokyo, where he worked as a teenager. Over the following decades the chain expanded steadily across the United States, earning a loyal following for celebrations, business dinners, and family occasions. Each Benihana chef completes extensive training to master the knife tricks, flying shrimp catches, and onion volcano flames that have become the restaurant's trademark.

Today Benihana operates more than 70 teppanyaki restaurants across the United States and has licensed additional locations internationally. The menu has grown well beyond its original hibachi roots to include a full sushi and sashimi bar, specialty rolls, sake cocktails, and seasonal offerings. Despite changing dining trends, Benihana's combination of interactive cooking, social table seating, and Japanese-American flavors continues to make it one of the most recognizable dining experiences in the country.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does Benihana cost per person?

Does Benihana include fried rice with entrees?

Yes. Most hibachi entrees come with Benihana's signature hibachi chicken fried rice, a small salad, soup, and vegetables. The fried rice is cooked tableside and is one of the most praised parts of the meal.

Is there a kids menu at Benihana?

Yes — the Kabuki Kids menu features smaller portions of hibachi chicken, shrimp, and steak as well as a California Roll, all priced between $8.60 and $14.00. Kids typically enjoy watching the hibachi performance up close.

Does Benihana have vegetarian options?

Vegetarian options include the Spicy Tofu Steak ($17.30), Yakisoba ($19.70), Vegetable Tempura ($7.10), Edamame, Seaweed Salad, cucumber and vegetable rolls, and various salad and soup starters. The kitchen can sometimes accommodate further customization — ask your server.

What are Benihana's most popular dishes?

The Hibachi Steak, Hibachi Chicken, and Filet Mignon are perennial bestsellers from the hibachi grill. From the sushi bar, the Dragon Roll, California Roll, and Rainbow Roll are top choices. For a combo, the Benihana Delight (chicken and colossal shrimp) and Benihana Special (filet, shrimp, and chicken) are frequently ordered.

What is the Power Lunch at Benihana?

The Power Lunch is a weekday lunch offering that starts at $15.95 and comes with a 45-minute guarantee — ideal for diners on a tight schedule. It includes a hibachi entree with fried rice, soup, and salad served quickly so guests can get in and out within their lunch break.

Does Benihana have happy hour?

Yes, most locations offer a Happy Hour menu with discounted cocktails, sake, beer, and appetizer specials. Days and times vary by location, so check with your local Benihana directly for current happy hour details.

Is Benihana gluten-free friendly?

Many hibachi entrees (steak, chicken, shrimp, seafood) are naturally gluten-free when prepared without soy sauce marinades. Benihana offers a gluten-free allergen guide on its website. Guests with celiac disease should notify their server so the chef can take precautions at the hibachi table.

What is the difference between Benihana and other hibachi restaurants?

Benihana is widely credited with popularizing teppanyaki-style dining in the United States. The main differentiators are its consistent theatrical chef performance (knife tricks, onion volcano, flying shrimp), communal table seating with strangers or other parties, and a full sushi bar alongside the hibachi menu. Many local hibachi restaurants are inspired by Benihana's format but vary widely in quality and price.
